Tenable | SF / Bay Area | ONSITE or REMOTE Software Engineer, Principal Engineer

Tenable is a rapidly growing network security company. We’re expanding our engineering team to keep up with our rapid customer and revenue growth.

Tenable.io is the first comprehensive cyber exposure platform. You will be joining a team that is building a streaming data pipeline using Kafka and Java/Kotlin. We are also building connectors to 3rd party applications using a FaaS (aka serverless). This is a great opportunity to have a significant impact.

In terms of skills, you should be able to develop, deploy and maintain a microservice written in Java/Kotlin or another language that runs on the JVM, that exposes a REST API, calls other REST APIs, parses and produces JSON, reads/writes to/from a data store (PG/Aurora...). It's a plus if you understand how to instrument your code (telemetry, logs, etc.), and ideally understand retries with backoffs, ideally circuit breakers, etc. If you already know Kafka that's a plus. AWS, GCP or Azure experience is needed.

I'm the Sr. Director of Engineering, Data Services (Data Science and Data Engineering). You can reach me at aahmed @ tenable.com. Please put "HN" in the subject line.

Thorn | San Francisco or Remote (US based) | Full-time Contract | $100k - $150k | Software Engineer | https://www.wearethorn.org/ Thorn is searching for a software engineer to join its engineering team as a full-time (40 hrs/week) contractor. This is a 6 month contract, with the possibility of extension, or full-time consideration. Thorn builds technology to defend children from sexual abuse. The team’s current areas…

Although not for the faint of heart, the work Thorn does is incredible. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to transition to a 'higher, real-world' impact role to look at this! Disclaimer: Not affiliated with Thron, just a fan after having worked with them at AWS re:Invent Nonprofit Hackathon.

Wow - this is exactly the kind of work I want to do. For two decades I've been writing boring software to make rich people richer. I've been looking for a way to use my experience for something that really helps people. It makes me wonder if there is a list of dev/tech opportunities for similarly impactful organizations.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They could be on topic in lots of places, assuming they relate to some interesting point under discussion and are not just a grudge against X. You're right in part, but standards aren't binary, they involve messy interpretation. There's no law of the excluded middle—it's all middle and it's all included. So instead of asking 'what are the axioms to be universally applied on this site', you need to ask 'what in this c…

Dan, I appreciate the thoughtful and measured response. But let me offer a counterpoint: you could apply the same logic to any comment anywhere. Take yesterday's topic on Microsoft potentially acquiring GitHub. How many anonymous comments are there slagging Microsoft (or GitHub)? No one has any way to verify the credibility of comments there, either. The question is: do complaining about a negative experience (real o…

> you could apply the same logic to any comment anywhere.

That was, essentially, my point all along.

Unfortunately, I think that what dang is saying is that the job posting thread requires special treatment and guidelins that are, inexplicably [1] far more strict than the overall HN guidelines, in order to protect the community from damage.

> If the comment is junk or fake then the poster has the ability to respond as such (or profess ignorance).

Or even not dignify it with a response! Surely, HN readers can be trusted to tell difference between "just a grudge" (or corporate equivalent of ad-hominem or any other actually off-topic comment) and a legitimate comment, even complaint, about the hiring process.

> I think if you really want no replies it should be hardcoded into the HN architecture

I have also suggested this in the past, especially since it won't incur any editorial/moderation effort or ambiguity.

[1] This lack of explanation or reasoning is one of my recurring objections

> the antiseptic posting of job listing, without any potential input from people who've recently gone through the process, is IMHO a loss for the HN community -- if I just want unadorned job listings, I can get that many other places than HN, and with much better filtering technology.

Since it's too late to edit my previous comment, I wanted to add that, though I've advocated/suggested such comment-free posting as a technical feature, I do agree with your sentiment, overall.

The only exception is that there would still be a link to the poster's HN profile, which might contain enough information to provide some context or feeling of community to the job posting.

Otherwise, as you imply, there's no connection meaningful connection to HN in any of the job postings.
